A man calling himself a "soul collector" and a "medicine man" is accused of trying to cut off his neighbor's toes and scalp him in Fergus Falls.
Forty-two-year-old Timothy Eugene Peterson is charged with attempted murder and second-degree assault.
According to the complaint, Ivan "Skip" Mallas was working in his garage early Sunday when Peterson approached him and allegedly began chanting while first trying to cut off some of Mallas' toes.

Wow, I hardly know where to begin. This guy is obviously a candidate for a sustained visit to the Moose Lake State Hospital. Luckily, the victim was not killed by this looney-tunes guy.
Comments or opinions - anyone?

Yep. Cabin fever has set in. Farther from town (Pelican Rapids and Detroit Lakes) the citizens are butchering each other. Can’t even imagine what is going on up in FARGO.
It is bad enough here in Kansas.

I’m not sure, but it sounds like Mr. Peterson was a Palin supporter.
